The weird thing is I literally just finished the Kate White fiction "Such a Perfect Wife" where a perfect wife goes missing while jogging and then her ear buds are found. Was she abducted and they were left behind? Were they placed later on the trail as a red herring? It was a fiction book and has nothing to do with this case. But there are so many parallels (and some not) that my mind keeps thinking of it. It's just one of those weird coincidences where real life is stranger than fiction.
 
What I heard that made an impact was when he was asked, have you expanded the area of the search?, his answer was a big yes, very much so. I take that to mean they could have found items much further away than the original search area.

Yep unfortunately it doesn't appear that this is heading to a happy ending at all

There's no sense of urgency to find an alive person, I think they know what's happened to her

And I think she was likely already dead before LE became involved

This is a criminal investigation IMO
bbm
Agreed !

The first article about Suzanne's case said just that.
I don't have any reason to think that's changed; esp. after this presser.
Imo.

Sounds way more to me like the Sherri Papini case. Where real life was indeed stranger than fiction.
